So it takes more than speed to get separation. Most college WR's run poor routes. Leach runs a very unique offense, are we sure that Crabtree didnt run the routes he was supposed to? The fact he will do drills will probably answer that question. He does a great job of getting his body between the defender and the ball. He catches an extremely high amount of balls thrown at him. It wasnt like Harrell was going to throw 25 yd deep outs to him. I probably wouldnt take him the 3rd pick, but its not like the guy isnt a player. He's the guy when you have a 3rd and 8 and need a 1st down, he makes the play.
Dont know if he is a LF type receiver or not, but LF wasnt getting this kind of ball washing before the season started. Its a weak top end talent draft. The best WR will get over valued.
